Once again, the Club has renewed its Clubmark and East Riding accreditation schemes and seen good progress from its juniors.

Off the field, there were further developments at the Club. The Club bought a brand new roller and mower with the roller cost helped by a grant from the ERYC and also by generous donations to the Club from the family of Norman Kirk MBE. There were repairs to the nets area and further improvements to the bar and clubroom.

I want to thank Elza and her staff for their excellent efforts again this year with bar sales once again around the £250,000 mark.

I also thank all the committee and officials for their help. Neil, Mark, Antony, Dave, Stewart, 2 Simons, 2 Steves, and the rest of the committee bring various knowledge and expertise that enables us to manage successfully

It just remains to say thanks to all those who helped with teas, scoring and umpiring and getting games played. My thanks to all.
